update - it is not wild strawberry

Mock Strawberries

Mock strawberries are a
cultivated plant that has naturalized in some woodland areas. The plant
has leaves that resemble those of a wild strawberry plant, and has
yellow flowers, rather than white. The fruits form in early to midsummer
and are bright red with a bumpy appearance. They are dry and bland
tasting and are unfit for human consumption, although birds may eat
them. This plant may become aggressive when planted in moist, partially
shaded soil.

So I guess I am not eating them, but it also seems that they will take over my yard... now what?

Re: update - it is not wild strawberry

Interesting. I have never heard of that, so I did a little reading. From the quick skimming I did (and what you posted), they prefer moist conditions, so first, I wouldn't water that area. Looks like it's time to start pulling! I would also remove the berries to prevent seeding, although my guess is that getting the roots out is more important. Good luck!
